Market decline can't squelch good ideas

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Jim Lowell, editor of the Fidelity Investor and the Forbes ETF Adviser newsletters, says that Tuesday's market decline is no sign that markets are turning ugly. Indeed, there are plenty of good market ideas that will not be diminished by any short-term downturn, Lowell says.

In other radio interviews with Jaffe, Stephen Brobeck, executive director of the Consumer Federation of America, discussed his group's study showing that only 40% of consumers have a separate savings account sufficient to cover small emergencies and Greg McBride, senior editor of BankRate.com, talked about how the market's big decline on Tuesday has created a short-term opportunity for home buyers to lock in mortgage rates that are much more attractive than what was available just one week ago.

Jaffe's radio interviews feature reviews of stocks and mutual funds suggested by MarketWatch readers. To request a stock or mutual fund for review, send your name, hometown and the ticker symbols that interest you to Chuck Jaffe.
